I was really looking forward to Forza but I just couldn't get into it - and I really don't know why. It just... felt so generic. And I really hated how the in-game car models were greatly downgraded versions of the ones you see on the menu. So in a way, there are NO premium cars in Forza. In-game, I think GT kills it with the look of its (high-detail) cars.

I also feel like the GT handling is the closest to believable (with the exception of a few cars here and there - anyone played the Top Gear challenge with the Elise? Psh - WAY too slippery), and although the crashes aren't perfect nothing beats Burnout Paradise for that anyway. And Forza doesn't have GT's... charm. It's a classy game - I love all that chilled lounge music in the classy-looking menus.

And for those of you not happy with the damage, give it time:
